Love Live! Hasunosora Girls’ High School Idol Club 2nd Live Tour ~Blooming with ○○○~ (1080p)

And thus, my dive deeper into Idol Hell continues.

We’ve officially included the first weekend of Hasunosora’s 2nd Live series in Chiba, where we got to see the girls show off their skills and repertoire, and with some new friends to boot! The three newest members of Hasunosora’s school idol club joined for a song and got to have an MC segment in front of the crowd, which is exciting!

I’ll admit that this was my first real dive into anything Hasunosora, having not been able to follow them until now. But if I wasn’t hooked then, I certainly am now! This week confirmed (as if we needed confirmation) that they’ve got massive skill as the newest group in the Love Live franchise, and have very much earned all the praise and adoration that has been thrown their way.

Playback has been tested on the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 4/23/24.

Love Live! Anime 10th Anniversary Orchestra Concert (720p)

It was a much different kind of Love Live! concert weekend, but was just as emotionally gripping and enjoyable from a fan’s perspective.

The 10th anniversary celebration of the original LoveLive! School Idol Project anime has come and gone, and with it came a symphonic celebration of the two seasons it gave us. From start to finish, we were treated to orchestral arrangements of many of the singles and soundtrack tracks we enjoyed through the show’s two seasons, culminating in a beautiful performance of “Snow Halation” featuring 2/3 of the original cast with full orchestral accompaniment. The event as a whole might not be to everyone’s taste, but regardless I think you should watch it. You might surprise yourself and end up enjoying it, too!

I’ve provided 1080p and 720p versions of this concert, as this was a major event for the LL franchise, and I want this to be available to as many people as possible. This 720p version reduces the total file size by about 2.5 GB.

Love Live! Series Presents Unit Koshien 2024 (1080p)

I know I always open with this, but what a weekend.

I really hope the LoveLive! Series does more cross-series events because this was so much fun. We got to see each group show off a selection of their own units’ songs, as well as participate in some pretty insane collabs?

We got to sneak peek the new Liella subunit songs on D1, had a typical DiverDiva moment on D2, got SAINT AQOURS SNOW for the first time in years (to a massive crowd reaction as well!!), and (my personal favorites) Nonfiction and Deep Resonance collabs during D2’s extra innings portion. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Everyone killed it, even despite a couple groups being shorthanded.

Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! 5th LoveLive! ~Twinkle Triangle~ (Tokyo Leg) (1080p)

Let’s GO confirmation of S3’s airing!

We have now arrived at the end of Liella’s 5th Live tour, putting an announcement-filled bow on top of it all. The setlist was more or less samesies as Fukuoka, so nothing really that notable to add to what I already said last time.

Of the information we did get, though, we now known the following:

  • New Liella subunit music dropping in late April
  • Season 3 broadcasts in October
  • That break in concerts I thought I was getting is no more. RIP my wallet if I want to keep up with these shows (I’ll probably have to pick and choose).

Love Live! Superstar!! Liella! 5th LoveLive! ~Twinkle Triangle~ (Fukuoka Leg) (1080p)

WOW!

The beauty of lives not tying into an anime season or movie is that you just don’t know what to expect. You could have bet me a thousand dollars to guess the song order for either of the days last night, and I would have lost every single time.

Eleven member versions of songs we’ve only heard with the original generation(s), subunit songs, songs we haven’t heard in a long time… we had everything, and it was amazing. I can’t wait to see what else we get/if they change anything for the Tokyo leg.

Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club 6th Live! I love You ⇆ You love Me (Kanagawa Leg) (1080p)

Another weekend of Love Live concerts has concluded, this time with Nijigasaki ending their two-stop, four-day 6th Live.

This weekend saw a new set of solo songs, some oldies-but-goodies, Christmas songs replaced with “Happy Nyan New Year Days”, and one of the most epic returns of a beloved character we got to know well during the Unit Live era of concerts. On top of that, we got announcements for a confirmed 7th live, and a Switch Visual Novel from Bushiroad that I HOPE gets formal localizations outside of Japan. We also received news that the end is closing in on us, as they announced the first of three finale movies releases this September 2024. I’m not ready to begin bringing Nijigasaki to a close, but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the ride so far and plan on seeing this through to the end.

Compression of the files didn’t make all that difference from the raw original, but it lopped off a few GB total, at least, and cut out the non-live extra stuff.

Playback has been tested on the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 1/15/23.

Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club 6th Live! I love You ⇆ You love Me (Aichi Leg) (1080p)

Can you believe it’s already been six numbered lives for Nijigaku? Where has the time gone?!

This live brought Coco Hayashi to her first numbered live as a member of Nijigasaki and, while still a bit of a touchy subject for me personally, I’m so happy to see how well Hayamaru’s doing and how much the community has embraced her as the new Setsuna. And you’d best believe she showed us why she is suited for the role this weekend. Wow!

Along with that came some silly C&R antics, a silent Chiemi, the new solo songs, and plenty of throwbacks to keep us on our toes.

Yohane the Parhelion -The Story of the Sound of Heart- (720p)

Another great weekend of lives has wrapped!

Aqours returns to the stage to become their alternate universe selves that they played in Yohane The Parhelion: Sunshine in the Mirror. Through each night, we were taken through a recollection of the major story points during the season, culminating in the (spoiler alert) defeating of the calamity that had been plaguing Numazu throughout the entirety of the season.

No major surprises this weekend, with songs from the show, Blu-Ray songs (some of which were unreleased), and a special surprise on the third day that may or may not have brought Aikyan to tears. Overall, it was a very enjoyable live that put a bow on what has been this series.

This upload saves an additional ~4 GB in storage requirements when compared to the 1080p version. Playback has been tested on the latest versions of VLC Media Player and MPV as of 12/18/23.
